Minor in need of legal advice
Location: Michigan I'm a minor from Michigan, I'm currently in desperate need of legal advice. I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place at the moment with my dad and the rest of my family.
I'm 15+ but a minor
my father has brain damage from an accident.
my father has a history of abuse and for the past two years has been taken advantage of by scammers to the point that he ended up cashing a $3,500 check the scammers sent them and had to pay it back which took away the only bit of money we're getting from social security, not to mention he also gives that money to them.
/ I can't rely on other family or local social services because even with documentation of his abuse / medical records / phone recordings they did nothing / so I don't know what I can legally do if things keep getting worse and he keeps trying to steal what little money is meant for me which is also coming from social security.
I can't keep fighting with my father or control what he does and I'm afraid it is going to get so bad we won't even have enough money to keep the electric on. what legal recourse can I take to legally get away from here or to at least prevent the situation from getting worse?
